Messages For Abby

Hey friends,

I'm going back up to the hospital. I'll be up there in about an hours. We will post the Abby Daily Update this evening.

The miracle of all this technology is how fast people all over the world can respond and communicate. I would LOVE to show up tonight with a truck load of greetings and messages to brighten up Abby's day.

In the next couple of hours, if you can, would you send Abby a message that we will personally play/read to her. If you have children who are praying for Abby, it would be even more special if you would include them.

A comment on the blog is wonderful, but if you can here's what will be even more fun.. Gather up the kids, a group, or just you and:

THE BEST: Use a webcam or camera phone send her a video message... SEEING YOU, especially other children, talking to her, and waving to her is especially encouraging for her (email it to me, post it YouTube and send me a link; send it to my phone, use the Facebook video features; whatever works for you)

Call my phone and leave her a voice mail. I won't pick up for the next couple of hours. My phone will fill up fast, so if you want to do that, don't wait. 918-902-7691

Send her a voice recording from your phone or computer microphone... email to me, brent@brentriggs.com

Or, if none of those are convenient, leave a comment and we'll read it to her. Of course seeing and hearing you is more real to a four year old.

Leave a comment here and let us know what you did, and how to get to it, so we will be sure not to miss it.

I know everyone is busy. So to impose on you when you're probably busy with dinner and kids.

Hi Abby,We are running out the door to walk our dogs but want you to know we are praying for you! We went shopping for you today so be looking for a cowboy boot box to show up for you in the next few days! I hope you like the surprises we are sending! Have a good night! Faith and Bri

Hi there, I have never left a message or comment for someone that we don't directly know. I just left a message for sweet Abby and thought if she could see our blog it would give her a better idea of our family. We have a beautiful little girl who is 1 1/2 and a baby brother on the way. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 fish. We were introduced to your blog by a friends prayer request on her blog. We have added your family to our prayers and wish you the best and all the happiness in the world. From Hilton Head Island, SC God Bless!!!

HI ABBY!! My name is Kristin, and I am a 4th grade teacher in Texas. My husband and I have three big dogs and 1 cat. I wanted to send you a video message, but my camera is in my classroom. I hope this typed message will do for now.

Abby, I hope you know what an AMAZING and beautiful girl you are. I know you feel yucky a lot lately, and I'm sorry. God loves you and your family so much, and He is going to be your great healer. God will take care of you.

I'd like to know more about you, Abby. What is your favorite cartoon character? Do you watch Sesame Street? (I LOVE Sesame Street!) What is it like having so many brothers and sisters?

I hope you enjoy all of tonight's messages. I will continue praying for your strength and healing. I look forward to seeing MANY more days of you dancing! :) Love, Kristin

Abby,bYou don't know us but we are part of the AGCI family. We have a daughter from Vietnam. You are in our daily prayer. My youngest son, who is your age, always reminds me to pray for you before he takes him nap!Nate and Becky AdamsAaron, Noah, Peter, Luke and Lydia

We have not figured out how to do a video yet, but we will soon. For now we wanted to let you know you have captured our hearts and we are praying for you. Goose who is four and Rooney who is two include you in our prayers every night. You can come visit us at www.elainecarter24.blogspot.com until we figure out video mode.

Oh no! We didn't get to do it in time. Just got home, and your voicemail is already full. Henry, our 3-year-old from Guatemala, wanted to say "Hi, Abby!" and "Hope you feel better!" and "Hope you get to go home from the hosbehbeh (hospital) soon!" :)

Abby girl,I love your beautiful smile and sparkling eyes. I pray for you all the time. I just got my hair cut and donated to locks of love and my 4 year old just has a few more inches to go and then she too will be donating her hair. She knows that she is getting her hair cut to help people (like Abby) who don't have hair.I hope you are feeling better soon. I am so glad to hear that you are feeling well enough to laugh.Give your mom and dad a big hug and know that you are being lifted up daily.Take Care and God Bless You,Stacey from Washington State<><

Keep smiling, I love seeing pcitres of you, you are such a cutie pie!!Mary (from Minnesota)

Hi Abby! I've been praying for you every night. My little boy is only 1, so he doesn't understand how to pray just yet! But as soon as he does, we'll teach him!

I hope you are feeling better soon!

Brent...you may have done this before, but if Abby likes any certain kinds of videos or coloring books that people can send in...I'd be happy to send something to your house or the hospital for her to play with.

Hi Abby!!! We tried to call but the voicemail was full. We are praying for you everyday! You are an amazing little girl and God has great plans for you! We can't wait to see you grow and get stronger with each passing down!

Abby, You are such a precious little girl. There are so many prayers being lifted up for you, sweetheart! I want you to know that I love the picture of you with all your boyfriends -- it makes me smile (and a little jealous, you have 50!?!?!) Your dancing video today was the highlight of my day!

HI Abby We are the Siwickis we live IN Michigan and want to say WE LOVE YOU and hope you feel better soon. Cassidy & Nicholas are also adopted from Guatemala. They are 5 years old. They have been coloring pictures for you and send you BIG HUGS & KISSES. Keep up the good work sweetheart. You are a very special little girl.

HI Abby,I've been following your blog for about two weeks now and you are the strongest little girl (cutest too!) I have ever seen..

You stay strong little one and remember all the angels around you..Big hugs and prayers,Becky from upstate NY..

Me, my husband and my twin boys Bailey and Matthew age 8 are praying for you every day. You are a very strong girl and we blessed to be able to pray for you. We hope you will feel better soon. Sending you hugs sweet girl!

What a wonderful idea! We SO wanted to leave a message for Abby, I had my boys all ready to say "Get well soon Abby!" but then the mailbox was full :-(

So, Abby-girl, you stay strong, I LOVE to talk to my French class about you and they ask me every day, what's new with Abby? We prayed for you this morning, Abby, did you feel it? We prayed so hard. We hope you get our "love-you" package very soon, my students and my sons are very excited because they are sure you will love it. My students love the pictures where you're smiling, and they are sure their cards will make you smile. And all my sons know about girls is that they LOVE princesses, apparently, so they are sure you will love the gifts.

We think about you all the time, Abby, even though we pray for you at 9:30 in the morning. Be strong, so many people love you so much!!!

Hi Abby,You are being such a brave little girl. We praying for you to get well soon, so you can go home and sleep in your own bed! We are praying for you in CT. We are sending you hugs and kisses in the wind. Your friend,Olivia and Nikki from CT

Hi, Abby!I've been reading all about you and what a beautiful, strong young lady you are and I cannot tell you how impressed and proud I am. I have a baby girl in my tummy right now and I hope when she gets bigger, she'll be just as strong as you! Keep fighting, princess. Lots of people are praying and thinking about you all the time!

I considered calling your cell phone... and then I remembered that I have a cold and I somehow doubt my coughing is all that encouraging of a message. So, I thought I'd go for the written word instead :)

Hi Abby,

I wanted to tell you how proud I am of you. Your mom and dad share stories of how you're fighting cancer. The Bible tells us to be strong and brave because God is with us, and God has used you to remind me of that every day.

I also love it when your mom and dad share pictures of your adorable smile. You are beautiful, Abby!

I am praying that you will feel better soon, and that God will give you strength every day to kick cancer's booty.

Princess Abby, Maggie and I tried to send you a message on your Daddy's phone. We love your smile and your beautiful eyes. You are such a BEAUTIFUL little princess!!!Ask your Daddy if he got my message about St. Jude.Sweetie Pie keep up your hard work...you are doing great and you are such a brave girl !!!Love and prayers,Ellen (GA) and Maggie

Hi Abby!We tried to call, but Daddy's phone was already full of messages for you! My little girl, Izzy, talks about you all the time and really wants to play with you!Right now she's taking a nap because she was a little bit crabby, but tomorrow I will make a video and send it to your Daddy so he can show you. Izzy really liked your dancing video and likes to dance with it. We're praying you feel better soon.

Hi Abby, My kids and I, have been praying for you every night. We love you and want you to know that we check in to see how you are several times a day:) We love your dance video and sent you a message video from us to your daddy's email through you tube:) Love Ya!

I just made you a video message. It'll take my mama a few minutes to upload it to YouTube and email it to your Daddy, but I wanted to let you know it's coming!

I hope you can understand me in my movie...because I have a throat virus and I sound kind of funny. I pray for you EVERY morning at breakfast and every night before I go to sleep. And sometimes I just yell out, "Mama! We need to pray for Abby!" at random times during the day. I hope you get well soon!

My 5 yr old daughter, Drue and 3 yr old son, Lane look at your Daddy's website everyday to check on you Abby. We are praying that God continues to hold you in His arms and take away your 'ow-ies' The kids loved to watch you do your silly dance. You don't know us, Abby, but we love you. The Luikens from Iowa

Hi Abby! I have been following your story for a long time and (call me slow, but) just realized that you live right by me! How fun! Maybe when you are feeling better we can meet...but until then, keep up that beautiful smile and sweet loves for your family. You sure are loved all the way across the world, even! Remember what a precious gift from God you are, and that there are so many of us rooting for you.

Hi Anny, sweetie!I don't know how to do any of those other crazy computery things your Daddy suggested to get a message to you, so I will write things here. Malía and I are pray for you every night. She loved the video of you dancing with your Spidey and Sami. She was dancing too! We hope you get soooo well that you never, nver, never ever have to see the inside of a hospital ever again, ever, EVER!!! hugs and special baby love to you, Malía and her mama

Hi Abby! I don't know how to do video messages (I am silly I know!). This will have to do. I am a kindergarten teacher and I LOVE little girls like you. I hope that you feel a little better tonight. I live in Massachusetts with my daughter Maggie (she's six) and Jackson ( he's 9). We have two stinky beagle dogs who love to cuddle with us all the time - there name's are Walter and Ben. PU do they stink but we love them.I have a neice from Guatamala - her name is Lucy. If you met her, you would like her. She is very funny and likes to laugh. She is almost two years old. Listen Abby, I am praying for you all the way from Massachusetts - we are wishing for you to be well. Love, Deb Stone and her kids

I just posted a ridiculously amateur video on my Facebook page and sent you an email to share...Michelle also has rights to it since she and I are FB friends :-) Fantastic idea - hope all of these messages bring lots of joy to your sweet girl!

I love the video of you dancing. Get better soon so you can dance some more. Stay strong!! My little boy is from Guatemala also, he is a little smaller then Landis. Thanks to your mommy and daddy for keeping us updated.

Hi Abby! We have two little girls that are going to make you a video tomorrow. We live in Ohio and it is one hour later than it is in OK. We are actually from Fayetteville, AR. That isn't too far from you! You are lucky to live in OK! The south is so great and we miss it. We are praying for you and think about you all day long! Olivia my 5 year old wants to say hi. "The video of you dancing is so cute! My sister and I LOVE to shake our booties too! I liked the music, it was funny. I take dance class and I love to read books. I wish I could play with you. We are praying for you and hope that you get better very soon. You are so brave. Today I had to go to the dentist and I was thinking about you. I had to get a filling and you made me feel brave, too. Have a good night! Bye."

You are so brave and we are so proud of you! We are making you a special video first thing in the morning because Jack is already sleeping, he is only one not a big 4 year old like you so he goes to bed early!

I have posted a video of my two little girls who have a message for Abby on our blog. It is the latest post. http://sneakymomma.blogspot.comI also emailed it to you, but I'm not sure I did it right. :)

Abby,We are all praying for you. We love seeing your pictures and reading what your mom and dad write about the funny things kids say and do!I am a nurse at a Children's Hospital in St. Louis and I take care of a lot of kiddos who have yucky stuff going on, like you. I think of you every day when I'm at work and pray for you!:)Michele Herndonwww.mherndonfamily.blogspot.com(that's our blog, but I haven't updated it since Halloween!)

We sent Abby a video message, I hope it worked! I am not very computer smart!!! I wondered if you'd be willing to send me an address where we could send a package, my kids picked out a few things for little Miss Abby! My email is cmtd2jc@hotmail.com! Thanks! We love you, special girl!Angel and crew!

Tried to leave a message on Brent's phone, but it was already full. :(

Miss Abby,

I am the mama of 13 children, and we are praying for you. One of my little boys was very very sick a few years ago, like you are now, and God healed him. So, we are praying that God will heal your body and make you well, so that you can go home and play with your brothers and sisters.

This is my first time posting. I want you to know that you are my hero. You are a brave, strong girl. Your mommy and daddy must be so,so proud of you. I teach kindergarten and would love to have a student as special and wonderful as you in my class. Even though we have never met, I pray for you everyday. Have faith, sweet girl. So many people love you. xoxoxoxox

I'm going to try to send a video to your phone....I might send it to your email in case it's full! It's a message from my daughter Myah who just turned 2 and is from Guatemala too! Hope your getting better kiddo! We have some silly Myah videos on our blog if you want to giggle....www.toribugsmom.blogspot.com

We are praying for you and hope you get feeling better. I like to check in on you often to see how you are. You have so many friends. I have 2 little girls Harley is 6 and Kara is 2. They both say get well soon.

My daughter Caroline (she is almost two) loved watching you dance and shake your bootie. Like you, Caroline loves music and loves to dance. We will keep you in our prayers, and we hope you keep dancing. Sincerely, MANDY

Hi Abby! My youngest kids, Delaney (8) and Jay (3.5) just sent you a video - we hope your daddy gets it on his cell phone tonight! Take care and feel better soon because we want to see more dancing. :)

I am in bed with fever and a bad cough. I don't feel very well at all either. I am in bed with my laptop and wish I could send you a video right now, but I will do my best tomorrow, okay? I am not able to sleep at night b/c of my cough. So, whenever I am up, I pray for you in so many ways! I send BIG GIANT hugs from Houston, TX!

Here's a joke: Q. What did the porcupine say to the cactus?A. "Is that you mommy?"

one more??

Q. How do you make a tissue dance?A. Put a little boogey in it!

(Sorry mom & dad, I couldn't help it after the fabulous 'boogie' video you posted today)!

Abby,Emma has gone to bed but as soon as we're able we'll be sending a message your way. She is only 2 years old but every day she crawls up in my lap to see pics of "Abby pray" on the computer. You've had taught her to pray and that's a pretty special thing to give another little girl.

Abby,Ms Marlo doesn't know how to send a video to your daddy. I found two CD's that I think you will enjoy listening to. I will bring them to you tomorrow. I hope you have sweet dreams tonight. Remember, God NEVER sleeps!

Hi Abby,I have left a few comments on here before and never told you about me. I am a single mom of 2. MY daughters are 14 and 12 years old. We are German citizen and used to live all the way down south in Florida for almost 4 years. Now we are back in Germany. A city calles Solingen is, where we live. Let your mom and dad take a look on their kitchen knifes and it might say *Zwilling*, *Wusthoff* or *Henkel* on it. They all come from here. Solingen is known as the iron and steel industry. Well for now I need to go. It's 4 am here in Germany and I need to catch up some Zzzz.We hope you feel better soon. I will send an extra prayer before I go back to bed now.

Love you sweet Abby

Oh how I wish I had read this earlier when my boys were still awake. I show them your blog and we have been praying for you sweet Abby. My son Noah was home sick with me today and we watched you shaking your booty and it brought us both the biggest smile. You are so loved sweet little girl. Praying for you.

Abby, i love you sweetheart, you are so precious and such a big girl, you have the most precious smile and big brown eyes. And, my goodness, you can shake a booty !!!!! We might have to let the Jonas Brothers know this, they could use you i bet !!! Every little girl likes them, do you? I am so glad you are feeling better at times, i know a lot of times you have hurt really bad, but Mommy and Dad-Dee take good care of you and the Dr.s and nurses too. Is there something you would really really really like to have (it might make you feel better, right) just let me know ok honey. I am an old granny, i have a beautiful little granddaughter from China and she is praying for Abby too, she is 3. We read everyday to see how you feel, so try hard to think of something that you would like. We love you BUNCHES!! Jesus loves you too and He is always with you helping you.

Hi Abby! I have a cousin named Abby too, except they spell it Abbie. She is 9.

I think you would love Disney! we get to eat dinner with the princess', hang out with Mickey and ride rides....all day long.

No texting on my phone or a web cam. But I would like to leave a message for you, Abby. You are a gorgeous and brave little girl. I've told my daughters about you (they are all younger than you at 3, 2, and 1)and they think you're neat. They are in bed now, but I'd like to get them to make a video for you tomorrow and I'll send it to your daddy or mommy's email. Thank you for being so strong and a great model for my daughters. We don't technically know you, but we love you. Hopefully, you'll see us tomorrow!

Hi Abby!!!! You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOcute!!! Will you be my sons' Valentine?? Please say yes! Well, you are all probably too young for that (right?) but the main thing is that so many people love you and hope and pray you feel better FAST!!! God loves you and so do I.

Technology was not on our side tonight, but we've been praying for Abby. My son, Nathan (11), without any prompting from me, got up in front of his class and asked them to pray for Abby. Tonight, I talked to Jordan (8), who has autism and also happens to have one of the biggest hearts of any child I've ever met, about Abby. He wanted me to tell her this:

Dear Abby,I asked my mom what "capture your heart" means and she told me. That's how I feel about you, and all I want to do is help you get better. Do you have a Webkinz? I want to send you one because I think it would make you smile. I also want to make a funny video for you. I was adopted, too! When I go to church on Sunday, I'm going to take copies of your pictures and ask the pastors and everyone I see to pray for you. Here are some pictures of me that I hope make you smile:http://laughingburnsmorecaloriesthancrying.blogspot.com/2007/07/many-faces-of-jj.htmlFrom,Jordan

Hey Abby!Cindy here from NC. I have two children adopted from India and two nephews adopted from Guatemala. I have been following your journey for quite a while and me and my kids pray for you at night when we say night night prayers.

Abby-You are a very blessed little girl. Many people are praying for you, you have a beautiful family, and God smiles down on you each and every day.We can't wait to see your beautiful smile again, stay strong and know that Jesus is right there by your side.God bless you and keep you.The Kahrs Family

Hi Abby. You are so amazing! I love that beautiful smile. I loved getting to see you dance with your sister and brother. Do you know the song "Jesus Loves Me"? I think you should get your daddy to record you singing that song!

Hi Abby,I've been praying for you at bedtime every night. I hope you feel better soon. I like you dancing video. My mommy says we'll make a video and send it to you, but not tonight.Love, Katie in Missouri - 3 years old

You are too stinkin cute in that dancing video. You can really shake it! Sorry we are not able to send you a video message or phone message tonight. I am Diana and my husband Steve, daughter Daniela and son Tyler...we live in California and it's a lot earlier here so as I'm typing this you are probably already sleeping. We are praying for you and think you are a beautiful girl and you make us all smile with your pictures and great attitude. We are rooting for you and know that you are strong and can get better. We hope you liked the Ariel costume and flower hat we sent you. We thought they would be perfect for you. Daniela says hi and blows you kisses. She is three, so not as big as you. Sending BIG HUGS!!!!The Robinson's

Sweet Abby, You are such a strong, brave little girl and I am so proud of you!! I check in a few times a day to see how you are doing...Wanted to let you know I am praying for you from Dallas, Texas. Hope you have a restful evening. Love, Stacey

Praise God Abby is restfully sleeping. Still praying for wisdom for the medical team, endurance for the race that is set before you....Thank you for sharing the details of the tough times. This helps us to pray.

Hi Abby, I have a daughter who was also born in Guatemala and she is in bed now, but when she wakes up tomorrow, we will send you a fun video because she is a little ham and so is her brother, much more fun than their Mom in front of the camera. Do you like Ariel and Tinkerbell as much as Gabby? She loves anything with princesses on it. We love you and pray for you every day. Hugs from Tennessee!!!! Love, The Ladd Family

Hello, I just checked your blog and I would like to try to do something for Abby tomorrow when my girls are up! They are all sound to sleep! We are praying for Abby!! I was soo blessed by her Cancer Dancer video. I put it as my status! She is a blessing to see when she is so sick and she can still have a good time when she isn't in pain!!

I wanted to let you know that my son Andrew, made a short video for Abby. He has Leukemia as well. He was diagnosed two weeks after Abby. I am friends with Amy and Todd, that's how I know you all. We have been praying for your family since the day we heard. I understand what you all are going through.
